Poydras
"I still say that's what we need the most; a really fast corner that can keep up with receivers on our artificial surface. Says he posted a 4.38 forty which is very good. We already have a couple of corners that are just quick. re: Malcolm Jenkins "

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

somebody else picked corner too but i think it was just a side comment like

"dont be surprised if we go corner either"

but honestly....this was as big a surprise as the onside kick

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

I know C..but it makes the most sense...when you think about the Sharper situation...and the injury concern from last year ..and not to metion the attacking D we run under Williams...we need lock down corners to do that...but it was a shocker at first...i hit several off notes at my gig after we picked...

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

idk about the most sense.....but i definitly understand the pick

besides.....its a lot easier to get mad at roger goodell standing up there and reading off a card than it is to get mad at the super bowl MVP standing up there reading our future

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

From the footage I seen, he seems to read plays very well. And he tackles very well. I'm all for it. Let's wait and see what the kid can do, before we look to string up Loomis.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Remember the day that the coach would've picked Ricky Willaims and given away Shreveport to get him?


:^/

Thank goodness those days are gone.

Two dat.

That was me! :mrgreen: Time for some rep points fellahs! :bng:

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

I said they would pick Kareem Jackson because of the value. Thought he may slide. The way things fell, I didn't think they would take Robinson.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Thanks! I'd be doing my little "happy dance" except for the fact that we made the same mistake as last year and picked a corner that's too slow to play in the NFL. I don't think we solved our problem. After the fast corners came off the board right in front of us, I was hoping for a replacement for Scott Fujita.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

You guys better be glad they didn't pick Kindle or I would have never let you forget it. Hey Poydras good call and I didn't really even think about it until they made the pick. It makes alot of sense now. Congrats dude

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Agreed and Mayock says the guy(Robinson) is very inconsistent. he never played the same from week to week. He is slow for the league. I really wanted to go with Sergio Kindle at that spot or even Brian Price. I think this is another corner who due to lack of speed is better suited to play saftey. He will never cover the mosses, austins and waynes of the NFL.

I for one will **running for cover from lighting** disagree with this pick. I HATE IT!!! I wish Brees would have audibled at the podium.

But having said that I do trust our FO and Coaches they just WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Thanks but it's "dudette". You don't have to be male to know about football. :)

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

That's awesome...

By the way, this Budette is for you...you Real Woman of Genius

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Dang. I thought everyone knew that. I've had my picture as an avatar for a year. I just changed it recently.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Thats what my wife would say!!!

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Anyway, I'm going with long-snapper for our 2nd pick. :)

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

AW shucks you went to the well once to often... 2nd Round to high for a long snapper. it will be another deffensive guy probablly a run stuffer.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

um ... You knew I was joking..... right? I'm actually guessing OLB with the next pick. We need a replacement for Scott.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

OK that makes more sense. I see us trading back up to get Kindle or girffen....This is where J Brown gets off the Who Dat Bus!!!

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

I really don't think that will happen. We just signed Wilkerson at DE. The need isn't there, but it is at DT. Terrance Cody, Brian Price, Lamarr Houston, Linval Joseph or even Al Woods are more likely prospects.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

People Kindle got a few issues ...why do you think he slid..believe me im a Longhorn to the bone and proud of this draft...but there is a reason he is still there...Now with that said Kindle is a baller and will be a good LB..but not great..I can see him going in the middle of the second..

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

I agree if were gonna rob the Longhorns Houston would be the best pick...

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Isn't Kindle more fit to play as a 3-4 LB than a 4-3? I see him as either that or a traditional 4-3 DE.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Yep...did you see the Championship game verses Bamma?...Kindle was on fire ..i will give him that...but he has some red flags that scared off some teams..

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

But we still have our entire defensive line from the team that won the Super Bowl and only list a 32 year old behind Fujita on our depth chart. Isn't his replacment our highest priority now?

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Ok ...lol...Poydras has spoken ..LB it is...It would be a good pick either way...but we need a run stuffer next to Ellis...but i wont argue with ya..lol

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Have you been to Shreveport lately?




j/k

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Thats what I thought !!!

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

dang. I was kinda hoping you were going to tell me about someone we have ready to fill that spot that I hadn't heard about.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Exactly! A big body in the middle will make the whole LB corps better behind them. While I loved Fujita and he will be missed he is no more than an average NFL OLB. With a good line and a good secondary you can plug players in at SLB or WLB.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Good job dudette.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

... but aren't weak side and strong side more specialized now? They aren't really interchangable are they?

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

I meant that with a good line and secondary the two outside LB positions can be more easily manned by average LB's. Yes, they are specialized in most 4-3 defenses.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Maybe, but our only draft pick this year that will step off the plane and into the starting line-up is Fujita's replacement. Still seems to me that person is our newest priority.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Not necessarily. Solid LB's are routinely found in the middle rounds. Fujita, for example, was only a 5th round selection himself.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Also, only two LB's have been taken to this point. That leaves a ton of talented LB's left on the board.

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

amd some decent hybrid saftey/linebackers...now I hate LSU but Jones is out there

Re: Poydras You nailed it
 

Woman's intuition has it!
